ever since hamas is in power. i think that after this conflict is over and palestinians in the west bank and in gaza will think about what has happened, they will understand that none of this would have happened had hamas not adopted this -- you called it a rejectionist policy. it's not rejectionist. it's a holy war policy. their only project is holy war until the bitter end, until they destroy israel, and this is something the palestinians need to think about very seriously. is this what they want for gaza for the west bank, for themselves, or do they want to find a path to negotiate peace with israel and co-exist peacefully in two separate independent secure states. i think it's for the palestinians to make that choice and until then, if our security is threatened, if israeli civilians come under fire, then we will take whatever measures are needed to protect them. at the same time, we are still willing to discuss and to negotiate with the palestinian authority a peace deal. we are willing to talk any time witho

hamas doest think about where the rockets are going. while he is being treated in this hospital room, just one room away there's another child with the same kind of war injuries. except she's from the other side of the conflict. she's from gaza. 8-year-old bisan lost three fingers when the war came to her home. i heard the sound of a missile that hit. i didn't have time to ask what happened, thin the second one hit she says. when the dust cleared, she could see the bones of her small child's fingers on the floor. she was taken to the hospital in gaza but it was too crowded and they couldn't give her the best care. so the family asked israel for permission to cross the border. initially her mother was terrified. terrified at the prospect of people considered an enemy in their country putting their hands on her wounded daughter. it's a strange situation. and it's my first time entering israel. i was afraid. but they treated me and my daughter in a very nice way. and i understand that medicine has nothing to do with politics, she says. >>
